"I bought this sandal right before going on a trip to the Dominican Republic and it was the best shoes I could wear and bring with me for all terrain type. Dry or wet it did the trick. I needed the cushion and back strap support. Although I used under water river and pool on occasions, it is not suit for swimming as the front strap gets lose from your feet with the paddle of your foot. Just love it. Recommend it 100%"
